Building the Creative You: Productivity and Managing Setbacks

9th December 2024 7:00pm to 8:00pm, Online

Do you struggle with procrastination and writer’s block? Does your creativity come to a halt when you are faced with setbacks such as rejection?

Join Andrew Wright from Action Your Potential in this online masterclass, where he’ll explain why we procrastinate and how we can increase our productivity. He’ll talk about the importance of creating the right conditions for your creativity to flourish, and how we can navigate writer’s block and a lack of inspiration. Plus, Andrew will offer tools to deal with setbacks such as rejection, overthinking and rumination to help you keep going as a writer and/or illustrator.

This masterclass will take place online via Zoom. It will also be recorded so if you are unable to attend live, you'll be able to catch-up and access the recording for up to two weeks after the event has taken place.

In addition to the masterclass, each participant will receive a 30-minute one-to-one online coaching session with an Action Your Potential coach. You'll also be given free access to an app which will help you manage your well-being each day.

This session has been designed for writers and illustrators, and can be attended as a stand-alone event or as part of our wider ‘Building the Creative You’ course. This is a series of four sessions (RRP £300) that aim to help you build the creative you everyday. Attendees will learn of ways to improve creativity and mental health by building powerful daily habits and goals that unleash the incredible power of your amazing brain. The course will focus on providing tools to help overcome writer's block and a lack of inspiration, to tackle anxiety and rejection, and to create the right conditions for creativity to flourish.
